Stowmarket Recreation Ground Play Area Development

Descriptions

Stowmarket Town Council invited tenders for the design, supply, and installation of a new 40m x 40m play area at Stowmarket Recreation Ground. The play area will be enclosed by secure metal fencing, square in shape but with graded, sweeping rounded corners.

Safety surfacing will cover at least 75% of the total play area to ensure accessibility and compliance with all relevant safety standards, allowing for year-round use. The play space should be suitable for children aged 0-12 years.

The appointed contractor will be responsible for the design, supply and installation of the following:

Play equipment suitable for children aged 0-12 years and will specifically include swinging, bouncing, climbing, and sliding activities.

A central focal play structure which serves as a landmark attraction.

Safety surfacing compliant with BS EN 1177 or the applicable standard at the time of installation.

Secure 1.0-metre-high play-spec Bow Top metal fencing, galvanised and powder-coated black, with two gated entrances. This includes two pedestrian self-closing gates (1.0m high x 1.0m wide) complete with a closing device and powder-coated black box-section gate posts.

Seating, including a minimum of six benches on the inner outskirts of the play area, with additional seating integrated within and around the play equipment.

Utilise a black, white, red, and green colour palette, along with additional design elements to enhance and reinforce the theme. The preferred safety surfacing colours are black and green to manage colour degradation in future years.

Signage to indicate it is the Poppy Play Area with the design to include red and white poppies.

Inclusive and Accessible Design

The play area must cater for children of all abilities.

The site should be divided into zones for younger children 0-3 years (Infants and toddlers), 4-7 years (Early childhood) and 8-12 years (Older children).
